jesus people have some intense, bad responses to the fuentes clipβ€”he needs to get laid (sex does not make you less a male supremacist or fascist); he's gay (again sex does not make you less fascist; also, who cares, he's a male supremacist); he should be ignored (he had dinner with the president...)

Minneapolis Community Defense Is β€œRiding on the Learning Edge of a Whirlwind” β€œWe are becoming the people that we always knew that we needed to be,” says Minneapolis organizer Andrew Fahlstrom.

I talked with three Minneapolis organizers, including Andrew Fahlstrom and Susan Raffo, about community defense in Minneapolis, the social fabric of collective care under federal occupation, and how people around the country should be gearing up for the long struggle ahead. Audio + transcript:

IMMORAL…

This drawing was made by one of the 5 year old El Gamal twins. It shows children behind bars with the caption, β€œI’m 5 years old.”

An immigration judge denied them bond, citing β€œinsufficient assets.” These children could remain in detention for years while their case is appealed.

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember:

- Organized a city wide general strike
- Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence
- Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE
- Flipped public opinion against ICE

Which makes concerned about a path to authoritarianism in the UK mimicking what is happening in Minnesota.

The news reporting what is happening, without fear or favour, is an important part of democracy.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!

ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.
